I didnt know heads had non critical areas.
Look what notches in material can do. Notches are the beginning of...............you guessed it, cracks.
Notches a responsible for much damage in many components. A notch produces local stress concentration points and promotes the formation of service fatigue and stress corrosion cracks. At the same time a notch can produce a 3 dimensional state of tensile stress that restricts the plastic deformability and favors cleavage fracture. The stresses can then stretch the lattice of the material and promote hydrogen embrittlement. Fatigue fractures can be initiated by these notches.
